Bungalows Ballena

A really nice haven with large comfortable cabins around a good sized gorgeous pool in an attractive garden. Has two outdoor cooking areas each with a fully equipped gas BBQ. The bungalows have large well equipped kitchen / dining room areas. Very restful - we loved it here. It’s a good place to relax and recharge. The town is nice and, being mainly geared for day visitors, it’s fairly quiet at night. There’s a few birds around but no significant wildlife. There’s not a lot to do around here that’s free. We were very unimpressed by the Whale Tail national park. I don’t know how they can justify the admission charge. It has no facilities, just a long unattractive dark muddy sand beach with little shade. It didn’t help that it’s only accessible at low tide, which was 1 pm during our stay. Hence a really unpleasant long hot walk in the peak of the tropical heat to see some wet rocks! You can get in free after 5pm.

Great location, close to supermarket, restaurants and ATMs. Some are walking distance. Service/staff are great. Place is wonderful full size kitchen supplies big fridge/freezer, full size bathroom, air conditioner and living area with a couch, grill and whales tail swimming pool (a fast slide). Also very close to Costa Rica Diving and Surf. Great place to learn Diving!

Spotless, privet, staff are fabulous. Can walk steps away for Restaurant s and bars.
